Hitch Cart “Landing Gear”, Rebekah White, Jose Raygoza, Randy Hernandez, Brandon Leon
Mechanical Engineering
This report aims to allow our sponsor, to review our design process of the Hitch Cart Landing Gear Prototype. In the design overview section of this report, we discuss the primary design modifications we made to the wheel mechanism of the existing hitch cart prototype, including the addition of the ACME screws and the folding brackets. This allows our sponsor to see the intended improvements made to the past prototype and understand the primary goal of our project. Then, in the implementation section, we cover the entire manufacturing process to allow our sponsor to understand what manufacturing steps must be …

Developing A Miniature Smart Boat For Marine Research, Michael Isaac Eirinberg
Computer Engineering
This project examines the development of a smart boat which could serve as a possible marine research apparatus. The smart boat consists of a miniature vessel containing a low-cost microcontroller to live stream a camera feed, GPS telemetry, and compass data through its own WiFi access point. The smart boat also has the potential for autonomous navigation. My project captivated the interest of several members of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo’s (Cal Poly SLO) Marine Science Department faculty, who proposed a variety of fascinating and valuable smart boat applications.
Rotordynamic Analysis Of Theoretical Models And Experimental Systems, Cameron R. Naugle
Rotordynamic Analysis Of Theoretical Models And Experimental Systems, Cameron R. Naugle
Master's Theses
This thesis is intended to provide fundamental information for the construction and
analysis of rotordynamic theoretical models, and their comparison the experimental
systems. Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to construct models using Timoshenko
beam elements with viscous and hysteretic internal damping. Eigenvalues
and eigenvectors of state space equations are used to perform stability analysis, produce
critical speed maps, and visualize mode shapes. Frequency domain analysis
of theoretical models is used to provide Bode diagrams and in experimental data
full spectrum cascade plots. Experimental and theoretical model analyses are used
to optimize the control algorithm for an Active Magnetic Bearing …
